Brief pain re-assessment provided more accurate prognosis than baseline information for low-back or shoulder pain (2017)
Journal Article
Jordan, Dunn, & Van Der Windt. (2017). Brief pain re-assessment provided more accurate prognosis than baseline information for low-back or shoulder pain. BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders, https://doi.org/10.1186/s12891-017-1502-8

Background
Research investigating prognosis in musculoskeletal pain conditions has only been moderately successful in predicting which patients are unlikely to recover. Clinical decision making could potentially be improved by combining information...

Prognosis research ideally should measure time-varying predictors at their intended moment of use (2017)
Journal Article
Whittle, R., Royle, K., Jordan, K. P., Riley, R. D., Mallen, C. D., & Peat, G. (2017). Prognosis research ideally should measure time-varying predictors at their intended moment of use. Diagnostic and Prognostic Research, 1, Article 1. https://doi.org/10.1186/s41512-016-0006-6

Background
Prognosis research studies (e.g. those deriving prognostic models or examining potential predictors of outcome) often collect information on time-varying predictors after their intended moment of use, sometimes using a measurement method...

Identifying patients with chronic widespread pain in primary care. (2017)
Journal Article
Mansfield, K., Sim, J., Croft, P., & Jordan, K. (2017). Identifying patients with chronic widespread pain in primary care. PAIN, 158, 110-119. https://doi.org/10.1097/j.pain.0000000000000733

Chronic widespread pain (CWP) is common in the general population. It is unclear how people reporting this problem present in primary care; they may regularly consult for regional pains without being recognized as having a generalized condition. Our...

Average symptom trajectories following incident radiographic knee osteoarthritis: data from the Osteoarthritis Initiative (2016)
Journal Article
Whittle, R., Jordan, K. P., Thomas, E., & Peat, G. (2016). Average symptom trajectories following incident radiographic knee osteoarthritis: data from the Osteoarthritis Initiative. RMD Open, https://doi.org/10.1136/rmdopen-2016-000281

Introduction Previous research has identified the existence of a prodromal phase of symptom worsening beginning on average 2–3 years prior to the first appearance of radiographic knee osteoarthritis (OA). The current study extends these observations... Read More about Average symptom trajectories following incident radiographic knee osteoarthritis: data from the Osteoarthritis Initiative.

Trends in long-term opioid prescribing in primary care patients with musculoskeletal conditions: an observational database study (2016)
Journal Article
Bedson, J., Chen, Y., Hayward, R. A., Ashworth, J., Walters, K., Dunn, K. M., & Jordan, K. P. (2016). Trends in long-term opioid prescribing in primary care patients with musculoskeletal conditions: an observational database study. PAIN, 157(7), 1525 -1531. https://doi.org/10.1097/j.pain.0000000000000557

Long-term opioids may benefit patients with chronic pain but have also been linked to harmful outcomes. In the United Kingdom, the predominant source of opioids is primary care prescription. The objective was to examine changes in the incidence, leng...
